Opinions on this "Kool Kustom"

One thing for sure anyone behind it will know what kind of car it is.

The corvettes through the windshield don't look bad.

I think the lettering in the back is a little too small

I knew there was something about that rear end that was bugging me but I couldn't quite put my finger on it- thanks for pointing it out!

The two things that really look to me is the rear deck area from rear window to the rear end of car,and the next is the extra long nose on the front,too pointy the rest i could maybe live with.

Too much ugly to notice the craftsmanship.

Another example of, "just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should."

Well, I'll offer a different view point.

Except for the big flat rear section, I like it. I especially like the color for the body work. I think it looks cool. If it didn't have the big flat plex back end, it would be a very cool custom indeed.

...just my opinion.

It looks like he's preparing to pull some "first class maneuvers".



I'm not wild about it but it certainly is unique. As with many of these mods, people just seemingly take it too far. Less is more?

As for the size of the letters in the back... They are too small.. UNLESS... they have some LED back lights that transverse both horizontally and vertically.

I think the big flat rear looks goofy. If it curved in at the bottom it would look better I think.

IMO, the C3 frontend is already long enough
